Hey guys. When I got my computer built a few years ago i ordered 6 usb ports: 2 in the front and 4 in the back of my case. 2 of the 6 i specified as being high speed 2.0 ports but now when i go into device manager, none of the ports are recognized as high speed, and when i turn on my printer (USB) or use my external HDD, it tells me that high speed device is plugged into non-high speed USB port. Do any of you have any idea as to why windows might not recognize 2 of the ports as being high speed and transfering the data at the standard 1.1 speeds? such a pain!! thanks

if you've ugraded to SP2 recently check out: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=873169

thanks for the reply. unfortunately i dont even have SP2 installed as my completely valid copy of windows xp pro isnt valid. it says that my copy isnt valid when i try to install it, even though it is.... idk. thanks anyway :)
